BENDER IRDH265 / IRDH365（ISOMETER ®） Insulation monitoring device

BENDER IRDH265 / IRDH365（ISOMETER ®） Insulation monitoring device

Product positioning and core functions

Applicable system: IT isolated power supply system; Can handle AC/DC hybrid systems with rectifiers and frequency converters; External couplers can be used to extend the voltage level of the tested system.

Core measurement principle: AMP adaptive measurement pulse superimposes positive and negative symmetrical pulse measurement voltage onto the system to calculate the system's insulation resistance to ground; The measurement accuracy is not affected by the system's ground leakage capacitance, and the response time will become longer as the leakage capacitance increases.

Fault Information Description

ALARM E-KE: PE protection ground wire wiring abnormality;

ALARM L1-L3: All measurement wiring to the IT system is disconnected;

TEST ALARM: Ground fault detected during self check process;

If system faults are repeatedly reported: power off and restart; Still reproducing represents hardware damage to the device.

Wiring monitoring only alarms when all measurement leads are disconnected, and a single disconnection does not necessarily report a fault.

Ordering model and peripherals

The suffix meaning of the host version: -3/-4/-7/-8, corresponding to different insulation ranges and maximum leakage capacitance;

Peripheral: AGH high-voltage coupler; 72 × 72/96 × 96 external insulation indicator; RK170 isolated signal converter.

Important usage precautions

Before the voltage/insulation test, all connections between IRDH265/365 and the IT system must be disconnected, otherwise the device will be damaged;

The same IT isolated power grid only allows one ISOMETER host to be put into measurement, and multiple parallel connections may cause measurement abnormalities;

KE terminal PE ground wire is not allowed to be plugged or unplugged with power on;

AC/DC hybrid rectifier load: The rectifier must have a load current of>5-10 mA for DC side grounding faults to be detected correctly;

The larger the leakage capacitance of the system to the ground, the longer the measurement response time of the device, and the selection should confirm the on-site system CE parameters;

The M+/M - analog output is not isolated, and an isolation conversion module must be used when connecting to a PLC.

Non grounded DC/AC/DC hybrid power grid for ships and rail transit;

Inverter, inverter intermediate DC circuit IT system;

Industrial isolation UPS, online monitoring of insulation status of ungrounded power supply.
